Summercore Blog Sites

On Monday, July 21st, 2008, Summercore instructors Lynne Schalman and Steve Bergen shared some of their favorite websites.  After reviewing some of them, I am personally interested in using the following sites.

www.freerice.com  - On this site,  students may earn donations for world hunger by performing vocabulary exercises.  It’s a win-win!

www.teachersfirst.com – This is a list of website resources for teachers by teachers.

www.zamzar.com – This site converts files from one type to another, such as from pdf to a Word document.

See www.del.icio.us for my favorite sites.
